Switch zoning for MSA2000 storage systems
Switch zoning configurations for the MSA2000 system include considerations for fabric zoning, target port sharing, host splitting, and controller splitting.
Fabric zoning
Each Storwize® V3500 switch zone must include at least one target port from each controller to have no single point of failure. This means, for example, that the zone on the first fabric has Port 0 MSA Controller A with Port 1 of MSA Controller B and the Storwize V3500 ports. The zone on the second fabric has Port 0 MSA Controller B and Port 1 MSA Controller A and the Storwize V3500 ports. For more information about the Fibre Channel dual-fabric setup, see the relevant MSA documentation.
Target port sharing
Target ports may not be shared between Storwize V3500 and other hosts.
Host splitting
A single host must not be connected to Storwize V3500 and an MSA2000 system simultaneously.
Controller splitting
MSA2000 system LUNs must be mapped only to the Storwize V3500 clustered system. The four target ports are all required for dual SAN-fabric connections and cannot be shared.
